There are some people who bring us all together.
Neale Daniher was one of them.
This year’s Big Freeze will feel different.
The first without Neale in his blue beanie. The first without his voice, his humour, his unbelievable courage.
But his legacy is everywhere.
In every family holding onto hope. In every dollar raised for research. And in every person who now understands this disease because Neale forced Australia to look it in the eye.
And here in our Parliament, that fight is deeply personal.
Our very own Emma Vulin continues her own battle against the Beast with remarkable bravery and strength.
So this year, we wear the beanies for Neale.
For Emma.
For every Australian living with this cruel disease.
And because after everything Neale gave this country, we owe it to him to keep fighting for a cure.
The Big Freeze is back. And this year's celebration will be a special one - as we all come together in Neale Daniher's honour.
You can grab a Big Freeze beanie to show support for this cause - and continue Neale's incredible legacy in raising awareness for MND.
Imagine being an economist and thinking Howard’s tax changes had absolutely zero impact on house prices - this perspective should completely discredit you amongst the “profession” on its own.
@DTealy1@MelEwards202626@JacintaAllanMP Labor is the only one doing anything about trying to make affordable housing in the cities. With the rezoning and apartments they want build. Housing is expensive in the cities especially the nearby suburbs. The only way around that is to build up not out.
This is exactly why billionaires can’t exist. This man is burning the entire world down because he cannot accept his daughter for who she is. And he has the money to actually do it. No one can have that power.
@RobCecchi@JacintaAllanMP That isn’t what communism is. This is still a private market with regulation on it. Communism isn’t relevant to this conversation. Besides none of these policies will make the middle class leave they still can easily make money from their properties.
Only Australian citizens and permanent residents are eligible for the first home 5% deposit scheme.
Thank you Clare O Neil !
Those Libs in parliament are rowdy !! And those lying about this on X — shame on you ! Just causing division 🤬

@bingolingo112@MelEwards202626@JacintaAllanMP Besides if they do leave then that will give other people with more ambition and skill the chance to fill the gaps they leave. The market will correct for it. That’s why they never leave they just complain they will.
@bingolingo112@MelEwards202626@JacintaAllanMP The liberals put us in that debt and gave it to their friends instead of spending it on infrastructure and the people. No they wont leave the country. That’s a lie rich people always say then never leave. Because there is still money to be made.
@BankruptVic@JacintaAllanMP That’s not how that works at all. People still need housing they will still pay for it. Companies will compensate by building homes within a price range they can still profit from. This will also incentivise them to build more and further develop existing areas.
@DTealy1@MelEwards202626@JacintaAllanMP Then sell it and buy 3 normal priced properties out of the city and stop sulking. That is capitalism baby. You’re not entitled to tax free money. The supposed capitalists cry afoul when the governments stop giving them handouts.
BREAKING: Our legislation to deliver more tax cuts for workers and a fair go for first homebuyers has just passed the House.
Labor's five different tax cuts will benefit the average worker by up to $2816.
This is the most significant reform of the tax system in over a quarter of a century, and it's all about helping more Australians get into homes and get ahead.
@DTealy1@MelEwards202626@JacintaAllanMP No it isn’t the property would have to be valued at over 1.5 million for that to get anywhere near that high. If you’re doing that well stop sulking you don’t have real problems.
@bingolingo112@MelEwards202626@JacintaAllanMP What are you talking about some of the richest nations in the world tax more than Australia. From the UK to Denmark. I want lower taxes on working people (especially those in the lower tax brackets) who make money from their labor. Which is what labor has done.
